About the role:
Samsara is hiring a Senior Software Engineer II to join our Operational Excellence (OPX) team within the Developer Experience organization. DevEx is responsible for the engineering environment that a globally distributed engineering org relies on every day, from build and deploy systems to development tooling and AI-assisted workflows that help teams move quickly and confidently. Within DevEx, the Operational Excellence (OPX) team keeps production healthy at scale. We provide engineering teams the platform capabilities, observability tooling, automated safeguards, incident management tooling, and safe feature release systems they need to deliver highly available systems, ship features with confidence, and investigate and mitigate incidents faster. OPX is focused on raising the bar for system stability, resilience, and reliability across Samsara -- building automated safeguards that protect production, ensuring engineers get the right signals at the right time, and giving teams the visibility they need to stay in control of their services. We're also investing in AI-driven operational tooling and partnering directly with product engineering teams to strengthen their operational posture. This is a remote position open to candidates residing in the ET time Zone in the US and Canada. Relocation assistance will not be provided for this role.
In this role, you will:

- Develop and evolve our observability infrastructure, including monitoring, alerting, SLOs, and performance regression detection, to give teams real-time, actionable visibility into system health and latency.
- Contribute to AI-driven operational tooling that goes beyond triage, building toward autonomous remediation where AI detects issues, takes corrective action, and self-recovers with minimal human involvement.
- Drive incident prevention by identifying systemic patterns and ruthlessly eliminating operational toil. You have deep empathy for on-call engineers and a bias toward making their lives better.
- Partner directly with product engineering teams to diagnose reliability gaps, reduce their operational burden, and help them adopt best practices for running their services.
- Define and champion operational excellence best practices across engineering through guardrails, scorecards, and standards that help teams run their services reliably by default.
- Champion, role model, and embed Samsara’s cultural principles (Focus on Customer Success, Build for the Long Term, Adopt a Growth Mindset, Be Inclusive, Win as a Team) as we scale globally and across new offices.

Find Software Engineer at Samsara JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Samsara sponsor H-1B visas for Software Engineers?
Yes, Samsara sponsors H-1B visas for Software Engineers. They have a consistent track record of filing H-1B petitions for engineering roles, including cap-subject petitions subject to the annual lottery. If you're transitioning from F-1 OPT or another status, raise your visa situation early in the recruiting process so the timeline can be factored in before an offer is extended.
How do I apply for Software Engineer jobs at Samsara?
You can browse and apply for Software Engineer roles at Samsara through Migrate Mate, which filters job listings by visa sponsorship eligibility. Samsara posts across multiple engineering teams, so filtering by role type and visa category helps you identify the right opening. Applications typically involve a recruiter screen, technical assessments, and a structured interview loop focused on systems design and coding.
Which visa types does Samsara commonly sponsor for Software Engineers?
Samsara sponsors several visa categories for Software Engineers, including H-1B, F-1 OPT, F-1 CPT, TN, J-1, and EB-2 or EB-3 for permanent residency. H-1B is the most common pathway for full-time roles after OPT. TN is available to Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying engineering occupations. For longer-term authorization, Samsara also supports PERM-based Green Card sponsorship for established employees.
What qualifications does Samsara expect for Software Engineer roles?
Most Software Engineer roles at Samsara require a bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, electrical engineering, or a closely related field. Samsara builds hardware-connected software products, so experience with distributed systems, backend infrastructure, or embedded and IoT-adjacent technologies strengthens your profile. Strong coding fundamentals and systems design skills are assessed throughout the interview process regardless of which team you're targeting.
How do I time my H-1B filing if I receive an offer from Samsara?
H-1B cap-subject petitions can only be filed once per year, with USCIS opening registration in March and an October 1 start date if selected. If you're on STEM OPT, your extension can bridge the gap, but only if your employer is E-Verify enrolled and you apply before your current OPT expires. Coordinate your offer acceptance and start date with Samsara's HR and immigration team as early as possible to avoid gaps in work authorization.
